/**
 * @mainpage
 *
 * This is a simple library to control WiMAX devices through the
 * control API exported by the Linux kernel WiMAX Stack. It provides
 * means to execute functions exported by the stack and to receive its
 * notifications.
 *
 * Because of this, this is a callback oriented library. It is
 * designed to be operated asynchronously and/or in an event loop. For
 * the very simple cases, helpers that implement synchronous
 * functionality are available.
 *
 * This library is provided as a convenience and using it is not
 * required to talk to the WiMAX kernel stack. It is possible to do so
 * by interacting with it over generic netlink directly.
 *
 * \note this is a very low level library. It does not provide the
 * caller with means to scan, connect, disconnect, etc from a WiMAX
 * network. Said capability is provided by higher level services which
 * might be users of this library.
 *
 * @section conventions Conventions
 *
 * Most function calls return an integer with a negative \a errno
 * error code when there is an error.
 *
 * @section general_usage General usage
 *
 * The first operation to start controlling a WiMAX device is to open
 * a handle for it:
 *
 * @code
 *  struct wimaxll_handle *wmx = wimaxll_open("wmx0");
 * @endcode
 *
 * With an open handle you can execute all the WiMax API
 * operations. When done with the handle, it has to be closed:
 *
 * @code
 *  wimaxll_close(wmx);
 * @endcode
 *
 * If the device is unloaded/disconnected, the handle will be marked
 * as invalid and any operation will fail with -ENODEV.
 *
 * To reset a WiMAX device, use:
 *
 * @code
 *  wimaxll_reset(wmx);
 * @endcode
 *
 * To turn a device \e on or \e off, or to query it's status, use:
 *
 * @code
 *  wimaxll_rfkill(wmx, WIMAX_RF_ON);
 * @endcode
 *
 * WIMAX_RF_ON and WIMAX_RF_OFF turn the radio on and off
 * respectively, using the software switch and return the current
 * status of both switches. WIMAX_RF_QUERY just returns the status of
 * both the \e HW and \e SW switches.
 *
 * See \ref device_management "device management" for more information.
 *
 * \section receiving Receiving notifications from the WiMAX kernel stack
 *
 * The WiMAX kernel stack will broadcast notifications and
 * driver-specific messages to all the user space clients connected to
 * it over a generic netlink multicast group.
 *
 * To listen to said notifications, a library client needs to block
 * waiting for them or set \ref callbacks "callbacks" and integrate
 * into some kind of main loop using \e select() call to detect
 * incoming notifications.
 *
 * Simple example of mainloop integration:
 *
 * @code
 * int fd = wimaxll_recv_fd(wmx);
 * fd_set pipe_fds, read_fds;
 * ...
 * // Main loop
 * FD_ZERO(&pipe_fds);
 * FD_SET(fd, &pipe_fds);
 * while(1) {
 *         read_fds = pipe_fds;
 *         select(FD_SETSIZE, &read_fds, NULL, NULL, NULL);
 *         if (FD_ISSET(fd, &read_fds))
 *                 wimaxll_recv(wmx);
 * }
 * @endcode
 *
 * This code will call wimaxll_recv() when notifications are available
 * for delivery. Calling said function will execute, for each
 * notification, the callback associated to it.
 *
 * To wait for a \e state \e change notification, for example:
 *
 * @code
 * result = wimaxll_wait_for_state_change(wmx, &old_state, &new_state);
 * @endcode
 *
 * The same thing can be accomplished setting a callback for a state
 * change notification with wimaxll_set_cb_state_change() and then
 * waiting on a main loop. See \ref state_change_group "state changes"
 * for more information.
 *
 * To wait for a (device-specific) message from the driver, an
 * application would use:
 *
 * @code
 * void *msg;
 * ...
 *
 * size = wimaxll_msg_read(wmx, &msg);
 *
 * ... <act on the message>
 *
 * wimaxll_msg_free(msg);            // done with the message
 * @endcode
 *
 * \e msg points to a buffer which contains the message payload as
 * sent by the driver. When done with \a msg it has to be freed with
 * wimaxll_msg_free().
 *
 * As with \e state \e change notifications, a callback can be set
 * that will be executed from a mainloop every time a message is
 * received from a message pipe. See
 * wimaxll_pipe_set_cb_msg_to_user().
 *
 * A message can be sent to the driver with wimaxll_msg_write().
 * not the default \e message pipe.
 *
 * For more details, see \ref the_messaging_interface.
 *
 * @section miscellaneous Miscellaneous
 *
 * @subsection diagnostics Controlling the ouput of diagnostics
 *
 * \e libwimaxll will output messages by default to \a stderr. See
 * \ref helper_log for changing the default destination.
 *
 * @subsection bytesex Endianess conversion
 *
 * The following convenience helpers are provided for endianess
 * conversion:
 *
 * - wimaxll_le32_to_cpu() and wimaxll_cpu_to_le32()
 * - wimaxll_le16_to_cpu() and wimaxll_cpu_to_le16()
 * - wimaxll_swap_16() and wimaxll_swap_32()
 *
 * @section multithreading Multithreading
 *
 * This library is not threaded or locked. Internally it uses two
 * different netlink handles, one for receiving and one for sending;
 * thus the maximum level of paralellism you can do with one handle
 * is:
 *
 * - Functions that can't be executed in parallel when using the same
 *   wimaxll handle (need to be serialized):
 *   <ul>
 *     <li> wimaxll_msg_write(), wimaxll_rfkill(), wimax_reset()
 *     <li> wimaxll_recv(), wimaxll_msg_read(),
 *          wimaxll_wait_for_state_change()
 *     <li> wimax_get_cb_*() and wimax_set_cb_*().
 *     <li> wimaxll_recv_fd(), as long as the handle is valid.
 *   </ul>
 *
 * - Function calls that have to be always serialized with respect to
 *   any other:
 *   <ul>
 *     <li> wimaxll_open() and wimaxll_close()
 *     <li> wimax_get_cb_*() and wimax_set_cb_*().
 *   </ul>
 *
 * - callbacks are all executed serially; don't call wimax_recv() from
 *   inside a callback.
 *
 * Any function not covered by the in this list can be parallelizable.
